Spring Scooter

130 km/h in about 6.8 seconds, whole thing weighs 38.5 kgs. The guy who owns it made the fairings, his first attempt, although he had some advice from a pro.

AC EVO 70 CC, aircooled(lighter) 19.8 HP. Gets started by a external (drillmachine)motor.
It has several sensors in it wich the rider can see on a display. Ideal start temp is around 70 degrees celcius, and gets up very fast during the run. After the run it's cooled by spraying some water over it.
It has a carbon carterpan wich saves around one kg. So there is already 4 kg saved by using carbon, 1 kg by using aircooling, 1,5 by making the wheels lighter, and the rest is chopped off the frame, and using lighter stuff.

Movie of something similar here.
